From: Acute Hyperthermia Inhibits TGF-β1-induced Cardiac Fibroblast Activation via Suppression of Akt Signaling

Figure 6

Hyperthermia suppressed Akt/S6K signaling. (a) Time course of protein phosphorylation in HCFs stimulated by TGF-β1 with or without hyperthermia for 0 to 24 h. (b) Representative western blot of protein phosphorylation in HCFs stimulated by TGF-β1 with or without hyperthermia (42 °C) for 6 h. (c) Normalized protein phosphorylation at 6 h determined by densitometry (n = 4–5, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ns: no significant difference). The original immunoblot images are shown in Supplemental Fig. 8.
